Lilo can do it for you. Put the appropriate drive settings in lilo.conf. It doesn't matter which harddisk is first and which is second. Windows may require to be on the primary hard disk.

In lilo.conf, just make sure that your lilo is written to the mbr of the primary master. The partition for windows will be hda1, and for linux will be hdb1 or hdc1 depending on whether it is primary slave or secondary master.
